I like that you are using an Asus mobo, they rock. I would go with Intel chip, good combo with Asus. Your ram should be 4 gigs. Your hard drive needs more gb's...i would grab 500.

I notice you don't have a cooler for your chip...Zalman coolers are tops and worth it.

If you don't have a 22" flat screen, might be worth the investment, they are hovering around $200.

Good luck!
